Froyo OTA Finally!

Just reporting that i received the Froyo OTA a few minutes ago. I have a Nexus one, rooted & unlocked, running frf72 rom from tesla. I was prompted to restart, and it went into the recovery screen, then it said installation had failed, could not authenticate. I assume this is because my phone is rooted and unlocked. I'm on T-mobile in dallas tx in case anyone was wondering

This is good news! Given you're not bluffing. It should still install even though your device is rooted, no?

So you don't have to dig through the thread
here it is!!!
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF83-from-FRF50.38d66b26.zip

so can you post a link to the ota download?

Could try to flash stock and see if you can update and dump.

Just logcat right from a reboot

Post the llog!

How does one go about discovering the Google server address to download the OTA? Just curious, but never thought to ask...

alogcat app

Is this real?
I mean if there 'was' a true OTA would Google have not notified via the usual channel? It certainly would be a good day for some froyo with Droid X announcement and a day before the iPhone.

adb logcat while you are starting up and then allow it to download
from a command prompt
adb logcat >> logcat62310.txt
would be perfect, then you can upload that TXT file for the experts to find the link, since it will be filled with garbage

Stock Kit Kat [RECOVERY] images from OTA 9.18.94.XT926 and 9.30.1.XT926

Blur_Version.9.18.94.XT926.Verizon.en.US https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGKz-hM9QiAXzBoakxSVk83MW8/edit?usp=sharing
Blur_Version.9.30.1.XT926.Verizon.en.US https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGKz-hM9QiAd3Z4SUdrd1Utb0k/edit?usp=sharing this also works with the following versions 183.46.10/14/15
If you need to flash this then use the build number of the jelly bean version that you were on or kit kat system version you have.
This is only the recovery_target.img from the ota updates not the full ota update.

These are the otas, right? They're not recovery files like FXZ.

Yes these are the recovery files pulled from the otas some one said they needed them so i posted them.

Calling them "recovery" files is going to confuse a lot of people. Can you change it simply to OTA zips? That'll avoid confusion. And let people know that the filename represents the version they're ON now (the version the file applies TO) rather than what it's updating TO.

Ohhhh, then that's my confusion then. My apologies. I thought those were the full OTA update. Yea, that should just say [RECOVERY] then instead of OTA. Sincerest apologies.

I see Sam and I were thinking the same thing. That's why I asked the question I did because normally, those filenames are what was used for the OTAs and those are not recoveries, as Sam stated.
Thanks for posting these and updating the description.

Thank you for uploading these files. After I bricked my 926 before reading the forums I foolishly tried to restore back to 4.1.2. So I want to install this recovery from ap fastboot. I tried to use matts utility and copied your file to matts folder then renamed the recovery image, but that did not work. Any ideals?

If you tried to FXZ back on a locked phone, you're stuck for a while.

Okay, oh well. The phones ear speaker went out from medal shavings and welding splatter melted some of the screen so I "lost it" and used Asurian insurance to replace it anyway, but the replacement is horribly slow. Like using a computer from 1999! A while back I accidentally dropped my unlocked xt926 and had Asurian replace it and the same thing. The replacement was so slow that I sent it back and was willing to pay Motorola $160 to fix my cracked screen. They kept that unlocked phone and sent me a brand new xt926 which is now the one with the broken ear speaker and bricked to boot! I'm over the razr....Moto X here I come! Thanks all

[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.

Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?

I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.

Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?

I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Well, I can, but can you tell me why are you asking?

I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here. Check out the MD5 sum: d289331e52d0f79d2bcc4b9b390ff338
It´s the same on my local copy, on the cloud copy I posted and also look here:

Apparently the update rolls out depending on that 4 numbers, i think it started from something like 3550 and mine is 3593 so i wanted to see if it is close to my number if you get what i mean.

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

OJ6 update now available

Battery optimization and security updates.

I see no difference at all between this new update and the previous one. Can somebody state the differences if there is any please?

Probably part of the new "monthly" update schedule for security fixes. It's only 150.55 MB. Looks like it fixed the most recent Stagefright vulnerabilities.

I think OG5 was supposed to fix the stagefright vulnerabilities but it didn't, there were new vulnerabilities discovered which you can test for using stagefright detector. OJ6 takes care of the new vulnerabilities.

If this update is the same type of update the N5 got then no you can't "add" this ota to current roms. It is a very complex patch that envolves actually patching all of the system files in the rom. I would need somebody to pull the ota zip from their phone and upload it and i will be able to give you a definite answer. But I can almost guarantee this ota is in fact a patch and therefore will be impossible to use for dev purposes. Speaking from my experience with the N5 ota which i quickly learned upon extracting and looking at the ota zip for it.

only reasaon i asked is came from note 3. we had a small update that was able to be flashed over current setup. but im sure someone will grab it.

After update i can't flash recovery via odin . Stuck on stock until i figure this one out

Anyone else having horrible speeds like this? Before I could get at least 13 down and sometimes even over 20 but this is horrible. We got a new prl version with this update too so I don't know if that's why. Well for some reason I can't post a pic but I only got 4 down and not even 1 full Meg up.

To get the update zip do this. First you MUST be on the stock odexed OG5 rom. Next go to Settings | System update and check for updates or it may prompt you that an update is available automatically. simply download the update but DO NOT install it. Last, root your phone if you aren't already by odin'ing the latest TWRP recovery then flash a pre-rooted OG5 kernel in recovery and reboot. You will also need to flash the latest SuperSu binaries or download SuperSU from google Play and install it and then use that to install the binaries. Once you have proper root, use a root file browser (I recommend root explorer) and look in the root directory for a folder named "fota". The ota will be a zip file with a file name that is a mix of numbers and letters or it will be named "update.zip". It will be over 100mb in size. Copy that zip to your phone's internal storage or sd card and then upload that zip file and pm me the link. I will check it out. I'm pretty sure the update contains security updates that require "patching" the system files. This means the update.zip will be impossible to use for updating custom roms. We will have to wait for the tar ball.

I couldn't flash twrp recovery because it wouldn't work. I used cwm to get going again . The thing is i couldn't find it for sprint note 4 so i used a different model tar file not recommended unless you know what you doing . My touchscreen was not accurate after i flashed that recovery but i already knew it. I had to use dialer code *#2663# then i was rooted and back on custom rom.

Does this fix the damn crash to lock screen?

Nougat is here for Verizon devices!

I look at my system updates, and I see this! I couldn't believe it! Nougat is finally here!

Just checked and received it as well!

Has somebody captured the OTA file?

Can we root the android nougat?

I had Verizon before. They are known for doing updates late and completely messed up. At least they aren't late this time. I'm just miffed that they dropped it before RETUS.

You do not need root to read most system files.
It used to be in /cache but deletes itself after the flash.

I know. Since I flashed it, I couldn't pull the ota through logcat.

My update is having issues. Tried a handful of times and would get "update could not be verified" or something similar after the download would complete update. When it doesn't fail verification, the install fails after rebooting. wtf, I have tried the VZW/Moto software update program but it returns that I have the latest software. Guess that channel might not be updated yet.
